The stock route for the wires is up the pillar, over the passenger door,
then down to behind the glove box. That is the way my '86 VanagonGL
came.
Also, note, the stock version of the locks is a 3 wire system to the
slaves, rather than 2 for the aftermarket. The Masters in the front
doors have 4 wires, to allow for a 12V feed.

I have also been told that the aftermarket actuators bolt up in the
stock locations, if you are repairing an existing installation.

Aloha,
Matt

This is excellent.  Thanks for the writeup.  Any tricks for running the
wires to the sliding door?  I tried to run speaker wires to the rear
speakers through there with no luck.  They seemed to get hung up
somewhere above the passenger door.
